Kensal

Here we are at last moored up opposite the cemetery with quite a few other boats. Heather and Paul are a couple of boats up the line. The journey here was peaceful to say the least, we topped up with water so we are okay for a while. On the way here we couldn't believe what we saw there was a guy spraying the weeds on the tow path and another guy following him with a sign saying" spraying in progress" what a waste of money why couldn't the chap have a sign attached to his spraying machine saying spraying in progress. Maybe they change over every mile or so to alleviate the boredom.

Caught up with Heather and Paul and tomorrow I am going out with them to Nottinghill market. On the 4th December the lights are being turned on on the tree in Trafalgar Square so that is a date for the diary. We will probably stay here for the 14 days then go to Paddington for 7 then come back here during this time we can do the museums etc. Paul has never been to the National Maritime museum and I'm sure he will enjoy it. Heather tells me that buses run from Sainsbury's right into the centre of London so lets hope Paul's bus pass turns up soon.

It is nice and quiet here and good for the dogs, must say that the canal on this arm is full of rubbish and I have never seen so many empty beer cans on the tow path you could make a fortune if you collected them all for recycling.

While we were in Tesco's at Bulls Bridge we bought a couple of rechargable walkie talkies only £24 we already had 2 oringially battery but Paul adapted them to 12v so they were plugged in all the time we were on the move. At least with these new ones I can call Paul from the lock or tow path.

Looking forward to a bit of time just doing nothing not too sure whether Paul will be able to hack too many days doing nothing he likes to be on the move at least we may be able to get the "to do " list a bit shorter.
